My first Lucid dream was a terrifying experiance. Up untill that point, I immediately woke up the second I realized I was dreaming, I thought everyone did. Then one night I had the following nightmare…
A man (Evil, or the Devil) was trying to get into my house. I wouldn’t let him in. My finance was there and tried to convince me to let him in. He became very angry that I wouldn’t. He was screaming at me and throwing things. The emotions were so very intense. I was scared of the Devil, and heart-broken by the way my fiance was treating me.
I ran down the hall and realized that I was dreaming. I wondered why I didn’t wake up, because I thought people always woke up when they realized they were dreaming. I started screaming to wake up, and jumping around and even banging my head on the wall to make it stop.
Then this calm, disembodied voice told me that I couldn’t wake up because the story wasn’t over.
I gave up and went to a few differnt rooms and wherever I went the Evil man was there in the window asking to come in. I told him to go away because he wasn’t real and he just smiled at me. I saw my mom in one room and told her I was scared, and she tryed to confort me. I went back to the room where my fiance was and he threatened to kill me if I left that “poor man” out in the cold.
I again tryed to wake myself up screaming that it was only a dream and I would wake up now, but I didn’t, instead, that voice came back and told me to calm down, because I wasn’t allowed to wake up until my story was over.
When the sun began to rise, My fiance had had enough, he told me it was my last chance, and pulled a gun on me. I told him I couldn’t let in the man because he wasn’t a man he was ‘Evil’. I begged him to stop, but he pulled the trigger.
The dream felt so real, I thought I was really going to die in it, but suddenly a copy of my fiance came up behind me and wisked me off my feet just in time to dodge the bullet. The ‘evil twin’, who pulled the trigger, screamed and evaporated.
Then a huge applause broke out and I realized I was standing amoung a huge crowd of …angels? maybe. They were all clapping for me. I was so confused, and surprised that I was still alive.
Then the calm disembodied voice came back and said “o.k., your story is over, now you can wake up.”
I immediately sat bolt upright in bed screaming.
It was terrifying to be trapped in a dream I had no control over. Especially one that felt so real. I have never had another dream like it since (thank God!) But ever since that dream I often don’t wake up when I realize I’m dreaming. sometimes, I can even control them.
Has anyone else ever had a similar experiance? Hopefully not as terrifying as mine was. With such total lack of control? Could the voice that seemed to be controlling my dream be a spirit guide that I’ve read about on here?
I recognize the feeling, I had such dreams a lot in the past, where you feel more scared than ever, and you are just trapped, and your only hope is to wake up, with the sun shining in your room. That is your only desire then, like… light and being back with your family etc.
Anyways, I don’t know a lot about the dream guide, but it couldn’t been just a dream thing, but not sure though. He wanted you to be in the whole story, so maybe the dream has a reason that you have yet to discover? If it seems it does not make sense, it probably was just a random dream.
I remember I had a dream where I got an item to get out of my dream or something, and indeed, when I clicked the button on the item, I woke up.
I myself have had a few dreams like this where you try and wake yourself up but it just wont happen and i understand it must have been pretty scary.
When it comes to dream guide i agree with niborious , the voice (possibly your subconcious) could have been telling you to wait because there was a message or something of importance in the final part of it. Maybe the idea of you having trouble with your fiance because of a third party but in the end he will prove to you his true self at the last minute? again though as niborius says dreams can be very random and it could be nothing.
I had that dream a very long time ago, but it’s still as fresh as yesterday. I don’t think I’m going to get any more insight from it. I’ve thought about it a lot, and the best I can come up with; it seems like it was some kind of test. I guess I passed due to the clapping angel like audience. But still scary.
I still find it strange that I couldn’t wake up. I haven’t had that problem since. Did you have trouble waking up from your dream? Did you have to click the button to be able to wake up?
it sounds scary , never thought about it as a test but thats a possibility , dreams are odd though and you might find in another year or so you find an explination
As for the waking up i do get problems with that frequently , i guess once if you learn to be in control of your dream you could use the fear to make you become lucid and then change the scene. Im yet to find a way of waking myself up , normally happens if the fear passes though.
I don’t know anything about dream guides either. I never even heard of them untill visiting this website.
Ritchie222, that is an interesting take on the dream. There was a third party that caused some trouble in the following year or two. I don’t think so, however, because the ‘man’ in the window trying to get in, wasn’t just some troublemaker. He was evil, not an evil man, but the essence of evil in the guise of a man. He wasn’t even scary looking, just an attractive, average man in a weird green suit. I just knew he was Evil.
Still a very interesting idea, maybe in the future,… but I hope not, I want nothing to do with such pure Evil.
So you guys think that I couldn’t wake myself up because I was so terrified? I’ve had bad dreams before that I could wake up from, but then again, none of them have been as terifying as this one. So, that’s a good possibilty.
first of all sorry for the late reply , I find it quite interesting that he didnt appear frightening yet you knew he was evil. Never experienced anything like that myself and that could be a sign of something. I also hope this dream doesnt happen in anyway in your life .
My take on that would probably be that its because you were so scared , yes. Im the same , only when a dream is truly terrifying i cannot wake from it. Also as i said before i normally wake up after the fear passes and that seems to be the case in your dream aswell so it would point toward that.
Kick his ass next time. He shouldn’t be in your dream.
As a believer in the dream plane, I feel that this might not have just been a normal DC. It may have been an actual entity with an intent to hurt you, along with other people watching you, waiting for the inevitable to happen. The entity might have been projecting false DCs into the dream, trying to get you to allow him in. Obviously, this didn’t work.
I’m leaning towards that more than anything, but it could have just been a random dream as well.
Saw this thread and had to comment.
As to the above reply, can you explain that, I don’t really understand.
I agree with the idea that it could have been a test as I noticed you never once let the ‘Evil’ in, henceforth passing.
in waking life were you going through a substantial personal change?
the devil wanting in, unbridled fear, lack of control, voice of the soul, treachery of current love, the saviour twin, and the glorious closing act.
yep, these are the elements of a lesson or test if you choose to identify it as such.
no need to see it random when “random” is like wind blown through a hole in the heart; no need to obsess and find how the dream involves you when a complete you exists at the end of your time no matter what things you learn.
feel good each time the dream comes to mind clear as day. it was a “nightmare” that created enough excitement and fear for you to gather your understanding of it and express it to others on this side of reality. this crossing over is what makes life move and continue to mean something to someone at some point in time.
